Sunday Breakfast Menu, Sept. 15

President Obama leads the lineup on the Sunday talk shows this week, as he and others discuss the challenges in Syria and looming battles between the White House and Congress over the federal budget and his health care law.

The president appears on ABC News’s “This Week,” where he will also discuss the state of the economy five years after the 2008 financial meltdown. Representatives Justin Amash, Republican of Michigan, and Donna Edwards, Democrat of Maryland, participate in the show’s round table discussion.

CBS’s “Face the Nation” has Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, the Democratic chairman of the Armed Services Committee. The former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, is also a guest.

Russia’s role in negotiations to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control comes up on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” which has Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the Democratic chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, a Republican on the Armed Services Committee. The subject shifts to the economy with two major players in the financial crisis: Henry M. Paulson Jr., the former Treasury secretary, and Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the Democrat who was at the helm of the Financial Services Committee.

Four House members appear on CNN’s “State of the Union”: Mike Rogers of Michigan, the Republican chairman of the Intelligence committee; Adam Schiff of California, a Democrat on the same panel; Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform committee; and Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the Republican chairman of an Oversight panel with jurisdiction over national security and foreign relations. In the show’s second hour, guests include: Senator Bob Casey, Democrat of Pennsylvania, and Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, as well as a former deputy secretary of state, a former United Nations weapons inspector, and a former commander of the military’s Central Command.

On “Fox News Sunday,” John Roberts replaces the host Chris Wallace. He talks to two Maryland lawmakers: Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, and Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the Homeland Security committee. They chat about the difficulty of securing the Syrian government’s chemical weapons “and the potential pitfalls of relying on Russia.”

Mr. Menendez also appears on Univision’s “Al Punto,” as does Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and Representative Jose Serrano, Democrat of New York.

Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, talks about Syria and immigration on Telemundo’s “Enfoque.” Lori Montenegro will replace the host José Díaz-Balart.

On a replay of Bloomberg News’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” Representative Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the Democratic whip, discusses Syria and the upcoming budget battle.
